What a charming and delightful place with many nooks and crannies for hanging out, playing and relaxing! The backyard is a cocoon of privacy and the hot tub was a welcome place to warm up and relax. The vintage decor and appliances are charming! Beware that the ovens work really well so keep your eye on the food! Bed was super comfy and the shower was hot with great pressure! Thanks for a lovely getaway!
